Biddit registreerde in totaal<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\"> zeven biedingen op het terrein van Van Hool, <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">waaronder \u00e9\u00e9n van de Vlaamse regering. De minister-president beschouwt de belangstelling van de markt als een hoopvol teken dat Vlaanderen aantrekkelijk blijft.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Potenti\u00eble kopers hadden zich vooraf aangemeld bij de stad Lier, die verantwoordelijk is voor de afgifte van de vergunningen. \u201cHet gaat om drie bedrijven die al actief zijn in Belgi\u00eb en hun activiteiten hier willen uitbreiden. Een vierde bedrijf komt uit het buitenland en overweegt voor het eerst een vestiging in Belgi\u00eb te openen. De bedrijven zijn actief in onderhoud, montage en productie\u201d, legde burgemeester Verwaest afgelopen weekend uit in de Gazet van Antwerpen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Een gouden kans<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">\u201cMet ons bod wilden we vooral ervoor zorgen dat er snel nieuwe economische activiteiten konden worden opgezet,\u201d legt Diependaele uit.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Industrieterreinen zijn schaars geworden in Vlaanderen en bovendien sterk versnipperd. Een groot industrieterrein van 30 hectare, zoals dat van Van Hool, was dan ook een uitgelezen kans voor de Vlaamse regering om een grote investeerder aan te trekken.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">\u201cIn het belang van onze economie moet dit terrein zo snel mogelijk worden herbestemd voor industri\u00eble ontwikkeling. Daartoe zullen we zo spoedig mogelijk overleg aangaan met de nieuwe eigenaar en de lokale overheid.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>\u2018Er is geen tijd te verliezen\u2019<\/h4>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">De curator van Van Hool moet het bod nog goedkeuren, maar\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">heeft tot 24 juni de tijd om de transactie af te wijzen<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">. Met de opbrengst kan hij al een deel van de schulden aflossen <\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">van Immoroc, de vastgoedonderneming van Van Hool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">Volgens de werkgeversfederatie Voka zou het terrein door een hightech industri\u00eble investering tot 8.600 banen en 1 miljard euro aan toegevoegde waarde kunnen opleveren.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"Y2IQFc\" lang=\"en\">\u201cDe regio heeft behoefte aan een snelle ontwikkeling van het Van Hool-terrein. Er is geen tijd te verliezen\u201d, aldus werkgeversorganisatie Voka Mechelen-Kempen.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recently reported that the bankrupt bus manufacturer
